Last week, we broke ground on our first stream restoration project in the Jefferson Valley for the first time in over a decade. We are improving spawning and riparian habitat on 1750' of Willow Springs Creek, a critical spawning tributary for rainbow trout in the middle Jefferson geography. A heartfelt thank you to Ruby Springs Lodge, R.L. Winston Rod Company, George Grant Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Trout Unlimited: Chuck Robbins Chapter 656, Healing Waters Lodge of Montana, Frontier Anglers, Four Rivers Fishing Company, Trout and Salmon Foundation, Montana Trout Foundation, and private donors. You bring our mission to life!
Work is being completed by Rowe Excavation of Dillon. We're really excited to see the results (and the spawners)!
Happy Monday,
Chris Edgington-Jefferson Watershed Project Manager
